Jan 01 26 - Murphy Morning Show: New Year Closures, Tax Listing, Laws, Weather, Events

Start your New Year’s Day with Sara and the Murphy Morning Show from Murphy, North Carolina. Today is Thursday, January First, Two Thousand Twenty Six, and we’re covering what you need to know to kick off the year the right way.First up: Cherokee County government offices are closed today for New Year’s Day, so plan ahead for courthouse and administrative needs. We also break down the start of the Two Thousand Twenty Six property tax listing period, running from January First through January Thirty First, and why missing that deadline can create headaches later.Next, we look at the local political horizon as election season ramps up toward the March primary, with several races already shaping up as crowded. We also touch on new statewide North Carolina laws taking effect today and what they could mean for families, schools, and healthcare across our mountain communities.Then it’s your Murphy weather outlook: cool and mostly cloudy today, a small warm-up Friday, and a light shower chance by Saturday—classic early January mountain conditions.Finally, we highlight what’s coming up around town, including live music at Chevelles, community programs, resources like the SNAP and F N S info session, and a downtown “Shop and Sip” event later this month.Subscribe so you never miss a Murphy morning.
